Popcorn

     Lou Oxenford wrote, "I've enjoyed all the memories of our home town and one thing that hasn't been listed lately is Mrs. Fox's most wonderful pop corn!!! Remember that? I know it's been mentioned before but I don't think anyone could get her recipe. Any hopes you know of? Our Sunday night supper is popcorn and I wish we could get some more of that delicious, melt in your mouth memory!! I can "see" her popcorn stand on the corner of Ninth and Story. Anyone else remember that, and also taking her popcorn into the Rialto? Weren't those the days? Hope you can get some answers for us."
     The Kornerman says, "how could any of us, of a certain age, forget Mrs. Fox popcorn. I don't know about any recipe but I remember the heavy, dark colored grease on her popcorn machine which I don't think was ever touched (cleaned). Maybe that was the secret. Yes, at our adobe, we also feature Sunday night popcorn most of the time. I lean towards lots of butter and salt too. Jo can't resist a handful of that "good" stuff but then backs away for a much more moderate amount of butter and even less salt. I swear our Holly absolutely knows when it's Sunday night and popcorn time. She starts prowling around the kitchen late afternoon in anticipation."
